I'VE BEEN THINKING ALOT LATELY ABOUT WHAT IS IMPORTANT TO ME. RIGHT NOW, I DONT REALLY CARE ABOUT THE THINGS I OWN OR MY JOB AND THERES NO GREAT LOVE IN MY LIFE. I REMEMBER READING LETTERS MY DAD KEPT FROM MY UNCLE WHO WAS TRAVELLING WHEN I WAS BORN. HE LEFT WITH A ONE WAY TICKET, A BACKPACK AND A CAMERA AND WOULD ALWAYS SEND HIS FILM HOME TO BE PROCESSED. I ALWAYS LOVED HIS PHOTOS AND HEARING HIS STORYS. I WANT TO DO WHAT HE DID, MAYBE I WONT COME BACK FOR A WHILE WHEN I LEAVE IN APRIL. 

THIS BLOG IS INSPIRING ME TOO, ITS A FRIEND OF A FRIENDS. HE LIVES REAL SIMPLY AND HE'S HAPPY. IM CRAVING MORE THAN WHATS SURROUNDING ME AT THE MOMENT.

THIS IS JONATHAN SAFRAN FOERS NEW BOOK TREE OF CODES. IT BEGAN AS HE WAS CURIOUS TO EXPLORE AND EXPERIMENT WITH THE DIE CUT TECHNIQUE AND THE IDEA OF THE PAGES PHYSICAL RELATIONSHIP WITH ON ANOTHER.  JONATHAN DECIDED TO USE AN EXISTING PIECE OF TEXT AND CUT A STORY OUT OF IT. HE USED HIS FAVOURITE BOOK THE STREET CROCODILES BY BRUNO SCHULZ - WOW

WE ARE WHAT WE THINK. ALL THAT WE ARE ARISES WITHOUR THOUGHTS. WITH OUR THOUGHTS WE MAKE THE WORLD. SPEAK OR ACT WITH AN IMPURE MIND AND TROUBLE WILL FOLLOW YOU AS A WHELL FOLLOWS THE OX THAT DRAWS THE CART. WE ARE WHAT WE THINK. ALL THAT WE ARE ARISES WITHOUR THOUGHTS. WITH OUR THOUGHTS WE MAKE THE WORLD. SPEAK OR ACT WITH A PURE MIND AND HAPPINESS WILL FOLLOW YOU AS YOUR SHADOW, UNSHAKABLE. (Dhammapada)

I'M REALLY SAD TO HEAR JOHN HAS LEFT THE CHILI PEPPERS AGAIN, ALTHOUGH THIS TIME ON GOOD TERMS. I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO HEARING MORE SOLO WORK FROM HIM. RHCP ARE HANDS DOWN MY ALL TIME FAVE BAND. I'VE BEEN INTO THE RIGHT FROM THE START BUT I FIRST REALLY TOOK NOTICE OF JOHN AFTER HE JOINED THE BAND AGAIN AND CALIFORNICATION WAS RELEASED. I GET CHILLS WHEN I WATCH HIM PLAY OR HEAR HIM SING. THERE'S NO-ONE LIKE HIM. YOU CANT STOP WATCHING HIM WHEN HE PLAYS, HE HYPNOTISES YOU. HE IS AN AMAZINGLY TALENTED AND BEAUTIFUL SOUL, A VERY SPECIAL PERSON WITH A DEEP PASSION FOR MUSIC - I THINK ONE OF THE GREATEST MUSICIANS OF OUR TIME. 

'HE LETS THE POWER OF THE WHOLE UNIVERSE FLOW THROUGH HIME EVERYTIME HE TOUCHES HIS GUITAR' FLEA

'SOMETIMES WHEN I LOOK AT JOHN WHEN I'M PLAYING I JUST WANT TO CRY BECAUSE THERE'S SO MUCH LOVE FOR MUSIC COMING FROM HIS HEART' FLEA

'ARTISTIC EXPRESSION, SEX AND TRUTH ARE THE ONLY THINGS THAT REALLY MATTER' JOHN

'THE BEST SERVICE YOU CAN DO FOR MANKIND IS MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS' JOHN

NOT SURE WHY ITS TAKEN SO LONG FOR THIS STORY TO CIRCULATE BUT ON DECEMBER 14, 2005 THE SAN FRANSISCO CHRONICLE REPORTED ABOUT THE RESCUE OF A FEMALE HUMPBACK WHALE WHO HAD BECOME ENTANGLED IN A WEB OF CRAB TRAPS AND LINES. ABOUT 20 CRAB POT ROPES, WHICH ARE 240 FEET LONG WITH WEIGHTS EVERY 60 FEET, WERE WRAPPED AROUND THE ANIMAL AND THERE WAS A LINE IN HER MOUTH. A FISHERMAN SPOTTED HER JUST EAST OF THE FARALLON ISLANDS (OUTSIDE THE GOLDEN GATE) AND RADIOED AN ENVIRONMENTAL GROUP FOR HELP. WITHIN A FEW HOURS, THE RESCUE TEAM ARRIVED AND DETERMINED THAT THE ONLY WAY TO SAVE HER WAS TO DIVE IN AND UNTANGLE HER. THEY WORKED FOR HOURS WITH CURVED KNIVES AND EVENTUALLY FREED HER. WHEN SHE WAS FREE, THE DIVERS SAY SHE SWAM IN WHAT SEEMED LIKE JOYUS CIRCLES. SHE THEN CAME BACK TO EACH AND EVERY DVER, ONE AT A TIME AND NUDGED THEM, PUSHED THEM GENTLY AROUND AS IF SHE WAS THANKING THEM. SOME SAID IT WAS THE MOST INCREDIBLY BEAUTIFUL EXPERIENCE OF THEIR LIVES. THE GUY WHO CUT THE ROPE OUT OF HER MOUTH SAID HER EYES WERE FOLLOWING HIM THE WHOLE TIME AND HE WILL NEVER BE THE SAME. HOW CAN WE CONTINUE TO HUNT THEM WHEN WE HEAR STORIES LIKE THIS?
